Optimization of the Hybrid Power Plant Design (PV-Wind) for Residential Load

The research aims to harness the potential of renewable energy in the residential sector of Cimahi City. Optimization design of hybrid generating systems require analysis to obtain the best scenario supply systems. One of the potential energies to be developed in Indonesia is photovoltaic and wind energy. The method used is design, modeling simulation, and implementation of the optimization of hybrid generation design based on photovoltaic and wind turbines. The design compares between on-grid and scheduling hybrid systems by using HOMER simulation which is used to calculate the component capacity, electricity production, NPC, COS, COE, and RF of the hybrid system. The results obtained that on-grid hybrid system is better and can be applied to residential loads compared to the hybrid scheduling system. Simulation result consists of the total energy production of 1023 kWh/year for PV system, 23.2 kWh/year for wind turbine, grid existing of 805 kWh/year, 0.500 kW for the inverter, and 0.540 kWh capacity of the battery. In terms of cost, these two systems have a difference of around Rp. 8,315,028.27. Because the operational costs of maintenance on the system affect the price of the Net Present Cost and Cost of Energy.
